You explain things to people ... but they don’t change.




They might get it ... but they don’t change.
The message hits too close to home.

They resist.
Put up walls.

My friend Dr Louise Van Rhyn tells a story about a story.
She uses it in consultancy training ... to frame a shift.

From blame to ownership.
From passive recipient … to active creator.

Empowered leadership.

People remember that story (about sandwiches).
It doesn’t just teach ... it shifts perspective.

It slips into one's mental map.
Rewires thinking.
Powerfully.
Quietly.

What story are you telling to shift minds?
What story are you telling yourself?
